bullshit or not (though, as many have pointed out, he sure doesn't say *anything* to suggest he's seen the movie; he doesn't even say when, story-wise, his big spoiler happens), is that right at the end of the spoiler section, he says that, if you watch Kevin's movies with anybody over the age of 15, they can tell you where all the jokes came from, because they're all old jokes. His evidence? The four-way road in "Chasing Amy". Funny how he ignores all of 'Clerks', all of 'Mallrats', and every *other* joke in 'Chasing Amy'. I mean, I've never met a person who didn't think that the innocent contractors killed on the Death Star was anything short of brilliance, so I could just as easily use that single example as evidence that every single joke Kevin has ever written is a brilliant dissection of the world in a way that nobody has ever thought of before.
Honestly, he comes off as one of the many who's pissed that Kevin isn't still making $28,000 movies that only a few people know about pre-video. Which would be okay if he didn't try and sound so superior. [Yeah, I'm so sure that Vilmos Zsigmond shot a movie that looks "passable for Felicity".]
I'm sure the soundtrack isn't selected yet, but I'd love for him to name one of the songs that was even *temped* in whenever he so-called saw the flick.
